Pedder's are another great option. I went through RDPstore, they're a vendor here and very helpful by phone or email. You'll be able to get stock ride feel with any decent coilover setup as they are very adjustable. I have my Pedders set very firm but even with the added damping it's not harsh.

Ridetech HQ’s hands down. Pedders supercar and regular Pedders or BC Racing are either to bouncy or to stiff. Had supercars, which are double adjustable for four years. Could never get them the way I liked. Valving wasn’t done well and The spring rates are to stiff for the valving. More designed for racing on a road course.
Ridetechs you can get whatever spring rates you want for your purpose. Note any coilover will be more firm then stock because of the higher spring rates, but Ridetechs were made for the Camaro so the tide is very good.

Call JDP and they will set you up

Thanks man you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I'm experiencing. I have peddlers now and that is what I'm experiencing to bouncy or stiff. Michigan roads don't help the matter either, their the worst. I've had mine for 6 years now and ready for a change. I thought of going with a different spring rate might help. And it would be nice to test drive before purchasing a something. I looked at HQ ridetech awhile back the cost was steep, but really might not have a choice at this point. I love the car and the stance, just tired of the ride. thanks for your input.

I looked at lower front rate close to what I have now on the Pedders. Consensus not sure it would work well . Wasn’t going to waste time and more money on them.

ride tech here also great ride for sure the solid metal upper bearing mounts transmit a few road impacts but the noise is not bad for the performance, get ready for some serious cornering

I have used the ridetech as well and ride was really good. Could get them fairly soft and the valving could handle it.

Only set up I used that I liked better was Detroit speed, but they are twice the price.

Yeah, set them all to 20 clicks from stiff, softest useable setting and cruise in comfort down the freeway. You only feel a few soft hits from bumps from the springs
